Mission: The Aienla Project's significance and importance to the arts and humanities lies in its own uniqueness and rarity. Its intents and goals are centered on a preservationist motive that will benefit all future generations and it is the only known project of its kind in America. Personifying its humanistic approach to the people of northeast India and the Himalayas, the project is devoted to the principle that much can be learned from tribal cultures and that the artistic creations and customs of these people should be preserved for the sake of knowledge for future generations. Through its photographs and material culture, the Aienla Project is dedicated to the preservation of tribal ideas and ways of life as well as bringing these cultures to the West. Since its beginnings, the Aienla Project has become not only a medium of cultural preservation but also a medium of education.
